About

Xing Su is a researcher whose work spans two distinct yet impactful domains: advanced functional materials and precision optical manufacturing. In the field of smart materials, Su has made significant strides in developing innovative adhesive systems, most notably pioneering an electroadhesion strategy that enables ultrastrong, electrically programmable hydrogel bonding. This landmark study, which has garnered 82 citations since its 2022 publication, demonstrates how ionic hydrogels containing lithium ions can achieve universal bonding with tunable interfacial adhesion strength — a breakthrough with profound implications for soft robotics, biomedical devices, and wearable technologies. Su has further extended this expertise into biologically inspired adhesives, exploring natural extract-mediated electrically responsive bioglues. In parallel, Su has contributed meaningfully to precision optics manufacturing, addressing the persistent challenge of mid-spatial frequency errors in aluminum freeform mirror fabrication — work that has accumulated 28 citations and advances the reliability of high-performance optical surfaces. Together, Su's research portfolio reflects a rare versatility, bridging smart material engineering and optical surface science, with growing international recognition evidenced by a steadily rising citation record across multiple disciplines.
